Department of Labor Changes to Fair Labor Standards Act Legislation

The Department of Labor issued a ruling which will significantly increase the minimum salary level generally required for exemption from minimum wage and overtime obligations. This legislation goes into effect Dec. 1, 2016. A UCSF project team is working closely with the UC Office of the President to address the impact of this ruling both system-wide and locally across campuses to inform best practices for implementation which may require engaging in negotiations with the impacted unions. More information will be coming. General information about this change can be found on the UCOP website.
